5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the most essential short fiction of the 20th century, 3 April 2000
By A Customer
Flannery O'Connor was a genius. Her prose is beautifully restrained, powerful, frightening and, disturbingly, often hilarious. I haven't encountered a writer of short fiction yet who hasn't doffed their cap to O'Connor. This collection takes the reader from slightly scrappy early writings to the faultless work of her final years. The stories here are so essential that I am giving this book five stars despite its revolting 1980s conceptual jacket, which depicts a baldie with a triangular penis standing in what can only be described as a Drama Space.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flannery O'Conner 'The Complete Stories', 9 Oct 2007
By A. Forrest (Conwy, North Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Every sentence so very rich. What a loss to the literary world when O'Conner died at a relatively young age. A thousand thanks to Robert Giroux for his enlightening introduction which enhances the book and helps the reader know a little more about Flannery O'Conner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended by The Independent newspaper today., 5 Jan 2007
By J. C. Henderson "jchenderson4" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just thought you'd like to know, this book just got a glowing write-up by Dean Koontz in "The Independent" newspaper today, describing it as a "book in a lifetime" and his inspiration. Good enough to make me want to read it.
